A servant-leader, wife, mother of five, and Nonnie to her five grandchildren, author Kimberly DeAnn endeavors to make a multigenerational impact by helping all women become confident in their God-given identity—to live fearlessly no matter what their age and to step boldly into their unique purpose. Through her multiplatform ministry work as a podcast host, public speaker, study group leader, and writer, the author shares glory stories to encourage women of all faith backgrounds to embrace grace through the grit of life. “Imperfect but perfectly loved” is the creed that keeps her resolved.

With every pen stroke, because it didn’t start out digital, I pray you feel the love of a sister who’s rooting for you, cheering you on, and speaking truth and love into your very heart…one encouraging love note at a time!”

Kimberly Blackstock: It Takes Guts to be This Happy

 June 17 – 23, 2023
Opening: Saturday, June 17, 2023, from 4:00 – 6:00 PM

Kimberly Blackstock’s unique approach involves pouring thick pools of paint into curvilinear shapes that are known to elicit feelings of happiness and wholeness. By adding playful colors in repetitive patterns, the artist builds a sense of trust and familiarity with her viewers, allowing them to connect with the artwork and feel joy.

Beyond uplifting viewers’ moods, the exhibition intends to spark conversations about mental health, highlighting the importance of reflecting on our own worthiness and the need to welcome happiness into our lives. Blackstock acknowledges that creating a collection of “happy paintings” can be challenging in a world where such a personal endeavor can prompt anxieties of inadequacy or seriousness. However, she hopes to promote transparency and candor by sharing her experiences and fostering authentic connections with her viewers by encouraging recognition of our inherent value within a society that often dictates our sense of self-worth.

The body of work featured in It Takes Guts to Be This Happy is inspired by Blackstock’s struggles with mental health and her daughter’s battle with anorexia. The artist deliberately chooses to create art that uplifts and helps to maintain a positive mindset during difficult times for herself and those around her. For Blackstock, art serves as a tool for personal growth and well-being, providing an escape and a source of strength. Through this exhibition, she aims to offer a message of hope and resilience by encouraging discussions about mental health and showcasing the transformative power of art to bring people together.

Kimberly Blackstock is a Canadian artist from the West Coast whose innovative style has gained international recognition among visual art enthusiasts. Born in Vancouver, Blackstock’s childhood was characterized by constant change and new surroundings, ultimately shaping her artistic vision and inspiring her to challenge perceptions while viewing the world from new perspectives. Each piece she creates invites the viewer to examine expectations and invites each on a journey of discovery and delight.

Blackstock is internationally recognized as a representative of Western Canadian art and her ability to instill feelings of joy in her audience through the orchestrated exploration of paint attracts the attention of collectors worldwide. Blackstock is exhibited and published in Canada, the United States, and Europe.

Since the opening of Artspace Warehouse in 2010, the gallery continues to be an industry leader in affordable, museum-quality artworks making collecting art accessible and budget-friendly. With one gallery in Zurich and two galleries in Los Angeles, Artspace Warehouse specializes in guilt-free international urban, pop, graffiti, figurative, and abstract art.

Kimberly Rosales explains the challenges of being a female entrepreneur

Living the experience herself, Kimberly Rosales explains how to face the different barriers that a woman entrepreneur can encounter along the way.


Québec, Canada – WEBWIRE



It is increasingly recurrent to see that the role of women in the world of entrepreneurship is becoming more present. Kimberly Rosales, a successful entrepreneur, explains what potholes women tend to run into in this process.


According to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor report, Latin America is considered the region with the highest percentage of female entrepreneurship in the world. Even so, still today, female entrepreneurs face invisible barriers due to fear of risk and a lack of alliances and self-confidence that prevents them from promoting their companies.


Finding the right support is a major obstacle. Because it is the first circle around women, family support is crucial. They can get advice, encouragement, and even financial support. Successive women have had their circle of support help them to become the successful ones they are today.


Lack of time can also play a negative role. “Chores, preparing food, taking care of the family and even going through maternity leave are time-consuming activities,” explains Rosales. “This means that many women don’t have enough time for their business. The solution is that the whole family can help with the chores around the house so you have more time to start working on your business.”


It is normal for women to feel insecure about starting a business and not knowing where to begin. This challenge is easily solved. Start by deciding the type of business you want to set up according to what you like and know how to do. For example, if you are complimented for your seasoning, start a food business; if you can sew by machine, make clothes or repair them; or, if you live in a place that allows you to do so, grow crops.


Betting on startups and female businesses is necessary. Doing so breaks the gender bias that women face. The numbers show it: globally alone, 20% of tech startups are created by women.


A study by the National Center for Women and Information Technology indicated that only 25% of technology and computer-related jobs are held by women. Although more and more companies are joining the change, there is still a long way to go in terms of equity.


For fear of appearing bad or getting out of control, women are extremely careful about details. This limits their ability to achieve their goals and actions. Rosales says that entrepreneurs must be equipped with a team capable of delegating and will not be part of women’s orchestras.


Fear of being alone makes women choose the wrong partner, someone who does not allow them to develop, grow and postpone their lives. Rosales advised that you must be with someone who can make you shine and shines, who doesn’t steal your energy.


Programs and support are available from the government, business chambers, and civil associations. They need to be disseminated more widely. Women entrepreneurs will be able to make choices, make decisions, and assume responsibility with the help of information.


Rosales admits that one of the ways to overcome the virtual or psychological barrier that women have in a traditionally male world such as the business world is to learn about success stories. “Cases of women who have become great entrepreneurs, with many workers under their charge and who exercise leadership in the business world. Inspiration to dream and fulfill a dream,” she adds.


Specific products have been created by the government, commercial banks and microfinance firms. Women are not comfortable owing money.


If a woman knows how much money she needs and what her repayment capacities are, there is no problem in applying for credit. In addition, it is necessary to have a system where fathers and mothers can take care of their children and where there is greater flexibility in jobs so that women don’t need to decide between being mothers and being professionals.

Kimberly Rosales explains what it means to be an entrepreneur

Kimberly Rosales is clear that being an entrepreneur is an extremely complicated challenge and that is why to achieve the desired success, you must have certain fundamental characteristics.


Québec, Canada – WEBWIRE



Although there is no secret recipe for entrepreneurship since each person is different, there are some characteristics that identify the entrepreneurial spirit. An entrepreneur is a person who identifies an opportunity and organizes the necessary resources to put it into action. Kimberly Rosales uses her experience as an entrepreneur to explain what it takes to start a business and lead it to success.


Successful entrepreneurs have many traits in common with others; they are confident and optimistic, disciplined and self-starters. They are open to new ideas that cross their path.


According to Rosales, there are some defining characteristics. For example, confidence is one of them. It is the hallmark of the entrepreneur. “Not all of us are born with self-confidence, but that doesn’t mean we are not capable of developing it. Many men and women believe in the sense of faith in themselves and the ability to overcome great challenges with daily work, and the self-confidence to see results and gain the respect of others,” assures the expert.


Passion on their part is the most important trait of a successful entrepreneur. They truly love their work. They are willing to put in any amount of overtime just to make the business succeed because there is an enjoyment in their business that goes beyond money. Whether they are passionate about the tasks or activities, they perform on a daily basis, the area or field in which they work, or simply the act of starting or building businesses, a common quality in successful entrepreneurs is the passion with which they do things.


Another quality often found in successful entrepreneurs is business acumen. They have the ability to spot business opportunities that others cannot see, and the ability to differentiate true opportunities from mere business possibilities. Entrepreneurship requires the ability to spot an opportunity that no one else has.


“Tolerance for uncertainty is also of utmost importance,” says Rosales. “Take risks, tolerate uncertainty, and contemplate the possibility of failure. They know that every business opportunity carries risk no matter how much analysis or planning is done, so when faced with an opportunity, they try to minimize as much risk as possible, and then act despite the risk that may still exist.”


Successful entrepreneurs recognize that they are always learning and can learn from everyone daily. To be unwilling to listen and learn is to deny yourself many opportunities. There is no doubt that the ability to learn is tied to the ability to adapt.


Perseverance is too common to see people with many illusions and projects at the beginning but who gradually abandon them and leave them halfway. Successful entrepreneurs have enough perseverance to overcome any obstacle or unforeseen event that may appear along the way, keep going no matter what, and not give up until they have exhausted all possibilities.


Sense of opportunity. The entrepreneur identifies the needs, problems, and tendencies of the people around him and tries to conceive alternatives of satisfaction or solution according to the case.


Optimism is a positive point of view about their surroundings and makes entrepreneurs measure failures in their right dimension and be able to learn lessons from each one. In addition, it allows them to nourish themselves in the good moments to set more ambitious goals.


Finally, there is networking and teambuilding. The first is about forming external contact networks, for which it is essential to know how to communicate and socialize. The second concerns internal networks, i.e., the formation of good working teams: the entrepreneur surrounds himself with like-minded people who share the same passion for his idea, who share a vision of the future, and who can complement his knowledge.
